As I understand it (based on discussion of this in #GNUstep), these
profiles are generic ICC profiles and have nothing to do with ColorSync.
Thus, I think .../Library/Colors/Profiles/ is the best place. Other
reasonable alternatives are .../Library/ColorProfiles/ (if we want to
keep Colors/ clean and Library/ messy :) and
.../Library/Colors/ICCProfiles/ (if we want to be more specific).

Because we can do better, and because implementation compatibility is a
non-issue. (In fact, as those who share domains between GNUstep and
OPENSTEP could tell you, naming different things differently is a Good
Thing.)
